What would Khal Drogo do?

Post » Tue Dec 13, 2011 5:51 am

Hi all,

First of all, anybody else playing as an ASoIaF inspired character? If yes, please do comment as whom and how you fill in the role :)
I didn't really plan it, I just didn't know how to build my character in the beginning yet. But somehow, when I was in the char creation part, I combined a copper-brownish Redguard with a rather peculiar beard, and it just struck me. I was going to be khal Drogo!

My rules are: always keep your horse nearby, dual wield light and fast weaponry and, now that I'm strong enough to largely ignore armor rating, wear Dothraki looking armor. Also, never get too close to the sea, unless absolutely necessary, salt water is bad for you. I'm rather loosely role playing though. As I'm kind of the 'want-to-do-everything-now-woooow-woooooow!' kind of player I'm pretty guilty of wanting to join every guild. However I justify this to myself by saying that to amass a powerful khalasar I obviously have to rule everything! I have a thorough explanation story for every guild I join, but that would be besides the point.

Point being! I've been playing through my life, starting out as a youngster, looking to carve out his first reputation by robbing and intimidating poor merchants with the Thieves Guild, went over Black Brotherhood, Companions, etc. And now I am arriving at the Civil war. Which side to pick? I haven't delved too deeply in the beliefs and main-actors of both sides yet, but currently I'm leaning towards the Stormcloaks myself. Seeing as how the Dothraki particularly dislike those who have inherited their titles and done nothing to earn them I would say that Drogo would absolutely despise the weak Empire and it's Emperor. However I haven't really met with Tullius yet, who knows, seeing he is a valiant warrior and commander he might have some arguments for my Drogo. What do you guys think a true Dothraki would do? Mind you, this is not about which side is the politically or socially right one, this is about which side would be worthy of me and my by now considerable khalasar joining (and probably in the end leading) it's cause.

So, summary:
a ) You play as an ASoIaF based character?
b ) Drogo --> Stormcloak or Imperial Legionair?

Considering the main base of the imperials is on a cliff overlooking the sea... I would have to say stormcloaks. Though you don't have much else that lends yourself specifically to either side.

You should probably avoid any cure disease potions. And kill hagravens like a mofo considering your previous encounters with witches.

In regards to the OP, I think Ulfric Stormcloak would fit the bill to be a Khal much better than Tullius even though Tullius is a great commander. Consider this, would Khal Drogo ever follow Stannis? Kind of the same deal with Tullius.

Khal Drogo is in the game. He's the leader of an Orc Stronghold. Seriously, looks just like him.

Khal Drogo, seriously? Stormcloaks - Theough He would simply kill people for awesomeness sake. He'd also die a horrible death.

EDIT: My char's surname is Snow, as Winterfell's bastards are called.

Neither. Drogo would ride with his bloodriders, Khalasar at his back, trampling both.

This. I'm an Empire man myself, but there's no denying that he'd feel right at home with the Stormcloaks even if Tullias is the better commander and tactician.

No way Khal Drogo would bide his time, waiting for them to kill each other of as best they can. Then he would invade Tamriel from Elsweyr ending up with every khajit, dunmer and redguard marching along with his Khal. They would utterly destroy the Empire, [censored] everyone they could, enslave them and burn everything else. While doing this they would also completely erradicate the Altmer with help from Daenarys' dragons. They would end up with a unified kingdom for a short period of time but would eventually be destroyed. Everyone would hate them excepting the Khajit and Dunmer, who would simply think "Hey why not".

Damn that sounds awesome! In honor of this great plan there will be a third option now :D

He wouldn't side with either. He'd take the Forsworn and invade both.

Personally While he would not really remain neutral perse I could see him rallying the Forsworn and attempting to be the boss man himself and conquer the Reach. Did not like Khal Drogo tbh. Classic archetypical barbarian conqueror might be something to do with it. A song of Ice and Fire is a good series for me so far. Only at the end of Clash of Kings though. Now Daenarys. She is interesting.
